SUMMER. ASSIZES. SHREWSBURY. lI.OXp v. TASSINQIIAM. Mr. Justice Burrough remained on the bench until near I o'clock on Saturday night, when he adjourned the !ourt and left the Associate to receive the verdict. At tlf.past five o'clock on Sunday morning the jury re irned into Court, and found a verdict for the plaintiff. IRELAND—KILKENNY, Jews 20. CORY v. BRATIOVAITE. An action by a board and lodging house-keeper, to re over for the maintenance of plaintiff's wife during her eparation from him. The question was, whether the wife vas justified in leaving her huslrand: Mr. Shiel—The sum claimed by the plaintiff is incon iderable ; but there are circumstances incidental to this ass, which invest it with a painful interest. The maiden fame of the defendant's wife was Devereux. About six een years ago she married the defendant, who belongs o that species of spurious gentry, known in Ireland by he name of gentlemen farmers. Miss Devereux had a brtune of 1,000/. Their union was not happy. About yeitra after their marriage, the jealousy and harsh less Of her husband compelled her to leave him. But ifter a separation of about three months, her religious 'eelings, the remonstrances of her relations, and the in fluence of a Roman Catholic Clergyman, induced her to return to the home which she was accustomed to call — but which is no longer her home. An allowance ought to be made for harsh and hasty phrases, which may ho re garded as the mere ebullitions of constitutional irritability, over which there are men who have no controul—if nothing more could be laid to the charge of Mr. Brathwaite than that be had occasionally given vent to his spleen, in cul pable but not unpardonable languag . e. But, Gentlemen, there is a cast of diction, and there is a character in mere language which afford ii deep insight into the mind, and indicate a settled ferocity of nature and a permanent savage ness of heart. It will be distinctly . proved, that Mr. Brathwaite, with an uplifted paler, grasped by his power ful hand, threatened to strike his wife dead. His ordinary ejaculation was, cc that provided she went to the devil he should die contented." Ile cheered himself with a conso latory reflection, that if he murdered her, the jealousy with which he affected to be inflamed would afford him a defence. Ile was also used to give expression to his conjugal affee , miens by indulging in the amiable aspiration of " That she might be damned for a Papist —." Mrs. Brathwaite, Geatlemen, 'is a Roman Catholic. There was a peculiar felicity in the form of expression into which he threw his tender emotions—for after a due quantity of imprecation, he prayed to !leaven for an opportunity " of knocking her blood and bowels about." It is right that you should, be apprised that Mr. Brathwaite was wont to suit the action to the word. The scenes detailed in his brief would fur nish valuable hints to a painter of domestic life. The wife of this savage (what other natne does he deserve ?) stood trembling before him with her infant child in her arms, whilst her ferocious husband brandished a chair above her bead, with which he threatened to dash her to the ground. It would be proved, that on one occasion he flung a piece of furniture at her with such violence, that it was smashed to . pieces against the opposite wall.-1 understand that it is intended, upon the part of the defendant, to justify his conduct by proving that his wife was addicted to the sin of spirituous liquors.—l shall say but two words with re spect to this line of defence. In the first place, this charge against Mrs. Brathwaite is utterly unfounded; and,. in the second, I submit to you that the man who can deliberately institute his defence upon such a ground, deserves the most unqualified reprobation:— What opinion will you form of such a man r ) Your verdict will, I trust, exem plify your condemnation of such conduct. Upon that con duct I. shall not indulge in any further expatiation, but proceed at once to produce the witnesses, by which I en tertain no doubt the plaintiff's ease will be established. i,,?vitlence was given of the' residence of defendant's wife in t 's house, and of her separation from her husband. Joanna Devereux examined by Mr. Shiel---1 am the sister of defendant's ' wife. She hail a fortune of 1000/. Was married 17 years; has nine children. 1 resided with my . sister and her husband, in September 1822, and re mained in the house for nine Months. In what manner did Mr. Braithivaite conduct himself towards your sister? The witness, who upon her first appearance on the table looked extremely inild t and excited great interest by tlas combination of beauty and intelligence by which her face waft distinguished, now exclaimed with vehemence The conduct of Mr. Brathwaite towards my sister was base, savage, and heartless. Do you recollect any particular instances?-1 do. During her confinement she was left without necessary sustenance. , I have seen Mr. Braithwaite repeatedly lift up the poker, and threaten to dash her brains out. Did you see him do any thing else exhibiting the sa vageness of what you have spoken ?—Yes, he used to seize a knife, and threaten to stab her ? Any thing else ?—He used to say he wished the devil had her, and that if' he took her life he would be safe, because a jealous man could not bo hanged.—(Loud laughing). Do you recollect any other expression ? Chief Baron.—l know what you want to get out of her, Mr. /Thiel. Well, Ma'am, we haVe had a pretty good spe cimen of domeitie endearment. Have you any thing more to say ?---My Lord, lie was a base man. But don't you renieinber any other expression—any wish intimated by him with respect to Ida wife—any thing about knocking Chief Baron.- Tbat's a hint at all events ; come answer the question. 0, yes, I recollect now. Chief Baron—l'll engage you do after the jog given to your memory. —He used to say that he would knock her blood and bowels about ; .and that he would like to Aimr her, and ,kick out her sides.—(Loud laughing.) Chief Baron—l believe you have now got what you wanted. —That will do. Cross-examined by Mr. Richards.—By virtue of your oath, ~was not your sister addicted to gross drunkenness ? —By no means—it is a gross falsehood. Did She never use spirits inunetimes; but never ex- . rept when her constitution required it.—(Laughing.) She considered whisky a great restorative IL-When she was sick anti weak, and during her confinement, and when she was nursing, she occasionally took spirits, ,but never except when it was nOcelmtry. By virtue of your oath, did riot your sister, without her husband's knowledge, sell the sisal and potatoes in order to buy spirits ?—Never. Chief Baron.--Stop, Mit'arri--1 want to ask you a question before you leave the table. Were your sister , and her husband always engaged in these agreeable dia. Putes Lord, he was always abusing her. • 9—My But after their squabbles, used they never to get fond of each other--Not to my knowledge. You spoke just new of a little baby of five months' old. I low did that little baby contrive to get into the w or ld unless your sister and her husband at times suspended their altercations ?—Oh, my Lord, you ask such Strange questions.—(Laiighittg.) Th e y must h a ve been now and then better friends than you give us to understand, Ma'am. Here the witne ss, suffused with blushes, putting up her band to her face, began to _giggle, to the great mer timent of the whole Court.--Gave no answer, but left the table. Thomas Latrissy.—Lived in the house . with defendant and his wife; but, as b e sa id, was not given to listr ning; It was. not his business to m ind his master or nusttes when they used to be in their tantrums. Have you ever witnessed any quarrel between Bra_th vaite and his wife ?—One evening he came name fate entirely, and Wad there was a bad fire"'"'so he did ; the master complained—so he did--that the mistress did not mind the house. Did you see him do any thing ?—He took up the poker, so he did. And I suppose he Vat the poker in the fire ?—He my Lord, indeed he 'did. •. The bad slacking of fires (small coal wetted and put on the fire) is often a cause of matrimonial disputes. I sup pose Mrs. Brathwaite did not like his way of stirring the fire ?---(Loud laughing.)—No, my Lord. In what attitude did he hold the poker ? Chief Baron—The Counsel wants to know whether he held it horizontally or perpendicularly ?—Eh, my Lord.- (Loud laughing.) Did you do any thing when you saw the poker lifted lily ?—I took Mr. Braithwaite by the skurt of the coat, and hauled him out of the room, to prevent him from fighting with the mistress—so I did. Cross-examined—He did'not see the mistress drunk. Never saw signs of drink upon her. The mistress had a smart tongue—.so she had, and gave tit for tat to the master. Mr. Bush, for the defendant, insisted that no proof had been given of such violence as could justify Mrs. Broth , waite in leaving her husband. The defendant and his wife belonged to that class of society in which coarse lan guage was in familiar use. Chief Baron—Gentlemen, find as you think proper.— " Verdict for defendant. LOCK-UP-HOUSES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin—l felt great pleisure in reading in your widely- I circulated Paper of Wednesday, the 19th inst., that it is the intention of the new Sheriff's, with a view of alleviating the distresses to which the defendants in Civil Actions (or rather upon arrest for debt) have been heretofore exposed, rigorously amongst other most excellent regulations to cause a printed paper, containing a list of all fees to which per sons are exposed on arrest to be placed in all the rooms of the officers' houses, kept for safe custody of persons ; and that officers or their servants, on being detected in taking sums beyond such legal charges, shall be immediately suspended. Such regulations to be adopted by the new Sheriffs are, at these times of distress, most praiseworthy. The sums now extorted from the unfortunate prisoner by these Lock-up-House keepers is most extravagant indeed ; and, strange as it may appear, in the City of London there are only two of them, one in Bell-alley, Coleman-street, and the other in Coleman-street-buildings. The charges they make are for a bed in a room with at least six other beds in it, and the use of what is termed the coffee-room, six shillings per day ; and if the prisoner requires a room to himself, he must pay 10s. 6d. per day for a small room with a bed in it ; he is in addition charged Is. 6d. for his breakfast, 2s. 6d. for dinner, consisting of a plate of meat and potatoes, tea Is. 6d., supper, 25., besides beer and every thing else he may require, equally dear. The officer re quires payment of these shameful charges every morn ing, and if it be not in the power of the prisoner to pay on demand, he is immediately taken to Whitecross street.prison. You may rely on this statement being Correct, I having had the misfortune to be confined in the lock-up house, in Coleman-street Buildings, for several weeks, and being unable to continue the daily payment at the above shameful rate longer ' I was, on the 10th instant, taken to, and am now, Mr. Editor, Though still your constant Reader, A PRISONER FOR DEBT, In Whitecross-street Prison.

Cnt LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 1826 We have received this morning the following veri interesting letter from our Correspondent at St. Peters, burgh, which we publish verbatim :- ST. PETERSBURGU, JUNE 20, 1826 It is a dangerous thing to write any letters from hence, on politics, or any subject but mere matters of business, ss every packet is opened at the Post-office, and therefore I have not been able till now, when an opportunity offers, I of sending this by sea, to give you any news of what is doing here. The newspapers will have informed you, that the trial of the Conspirators is still going on; but as in this country all such affairs are done with closed doors, the public are not permitted to know any thing of the pro ceeding ; and it is only in whispers that the truth is al lowed now and then to escape. The fact is now placed neyong all question, that the plot had existed fur fteVera years; that it had the most extended ramifications through out the army, that the secret was so well kept, and the con spirators so faithful to one another, that no discovery was made of their designs; when the death of Alexander, and the unlooked for occurrence of Constantine's refusing to reign, made them prematurely begin to act, and caused them to fail. Still their success or failure seems to have depended on the merest accident. Had any. one of them had the hardihood to send a pistol ball through the Em peror Nicholas, as they did through Milarovaditch, the day was theirs. Seldom can it happen that the fate of an empire is to be decided by the personal conduct of a single man ; but on this occasion the presence of mind and intrepidity of Nicholas alone turned the scale. He threw himself into the, midst of the rebellious troops, ad dressing theM by turns with menaces and entreaties, and employed every art to win them to his side. For some time all his efforts were unavailing. Not a single regiment :could be prevailed on to declare for him, until at length a battalion of the Guards was gained over, the minds of the soldiera having been moved by the natural and earnest eloquence of the Emperor. They were drawn up before the Palace, when Ni c h o l as ta ki ng hi s e ldest son in his arms, rushed among them, and appealing to them by all they held moat dear, assu r i ng them of his love of his country, and his attachment to the army, he called on them to fire on himself and the heir to the Throne, and could choose as their successor, if they any where find him, man more devoted to the welfare awl glory of Rtiasio, The soldiers shed tears at this, they could too longer resist, and swore to be true to him. 'Their example was fol lowed by one or two more regiments, but notwithstanding that, if the conspirators had acted, with any promptitude, the victory would have rested with them, as the rebel troops resisted all the lukewarm attacks of the infantry sent against them, and it was not till the artillery played on their ranks that they began to.yield.: There seems to have been little wisdom in the de signs of the conspirators, and they appear to have been in no way adapted to the present condition of Russia. All the slaves were at once to be declared free—those de graded and ignorant peasants, that in mind and habits are little raised above the . lower animals, were, in a moment, to be let loose, without any pre vious training, and a Constitutional Government to be proclaimed, without there being any elements of which it could be formed. The plan was obviously anti-national, as society is as yet constituted here, for there are but two classes—the nobles and their slaves; and the wealth of the former consists chiefly in the number of their vassals. With the progress of wealth and civilization, a third class will arise, and then freedom may be established. Among the conspirators are some young enthusiasts who had benevolent intentions, but the others appeared to be ac tuated by ambitious and sordid views, and pillage and mur ' der would have attended their success. These would-be Catilines have shown great want of resolution, and have, in the most cowardly manner revealed their plots, and be trayed their associates. About a dozen of them are ex pected to be shot, and therest will be banished to Siberia. We have been a good deal deceived in England as to the character and conduct of the Emperor Alex ander. Of late years he seems to have become very indolent, to have given himself up to indulgence and sensual pleasures, and to have neglected the cares of Government, so that great abuses - had crept in, and the peculations and oppression of the authorities and men in office had occasioned great discontent. In proof of his indolence, I am assured that he had not signed any of the documents and requisite decrees from the 4th of July last to the time of his death. His successor is the very reverse of this, He appears to possess great force of character, is endowed with great bodily and men tal activity—sleeps and eats little—is fond of domestic life, and being tenderly attached to his wife, is faithful to her—and the rapidity of his movements and constant oc cupations from four in the morning, would make him a le gitimate king, such as Burke required, who should be constantly on horseback. There was a gratifying sight here the other day to Eng lishmen, when the Duke of Devonshire, accompanied by his suite, consisting of Lord Morpeth, Mr. Caven dish, the Honourable Mr. Dundas, Mr. Fane, and Mr. Townshend, went to Court in all the pomp and ceremony that rank and wealth can purchase. The elegance of the state carriages and harness, with the beauty of the English horses, and the splendid liveries, at tracted greatly the admiration of the . Russians. Nothing can surpass the friendly disposition and delicate attentions which the Emperor has on every occasion manifested towards his Grace. Some of the gentlemen of the suite have not yet arrived from Stockholm. A terrible fire happened three days ago at Cronstadt, which threatened for some time the destruction of the whole of the town and the arsenal; and all the merchant-vessels in the harbour would have been burnt, but for the exertions of the officers and sailors of the Gloucester, 74., who suc ceeded, with the assistance of the English steam-boats , _ in towing them outside of the mole, at a secure distance from the flames. The loss of property has been immense. The general belief is, that the fire was the work of the enemies of. the Government, and may be considered as an indication of the hatred and discontent which pervades mens' minds. The more probable cause assigned is, that the fire was the act of some desperate persons implicated in the nefarious transactions which have lately been brought to light at Cronstadt. For a long series.of years it had been the practice there, it is said, to scathe Government stores, 1 :sails, hemp, rlglghvg, tlAc. En svelimulenstiistr summer, 410.1. the booty was divided among the employers, who in this way added to their scanty salaries. The present Empe ror determined to put a stop to the system of robbery, and Admirals, Captains, and Merchants, were arrested, and the magazines of the latter were shut up, with pad locks and seals affixed on all the doors. There the fire broke out, and thus some of the traces of the peculations were removed.. , Be this as it may, it is clear, that NichOlas . has a difficult game to play. He is aware of this, and has said that he may succumb, but he is resolved to persevere. Count Araktchef, of whom, and his military• Colonies, the ver bose Dr. Lyil has said so much,l find universally detested. The Lancastrian schools in the interim, are generally sup pressed. More of this hereafter., The French Papers of Saturday, and the Etoile Sunday have been received in course, but they do not fur. _ _ nish us with any news. They contain further accounts from Constantiimple, but these being dated on the 22d June, three days prior to the former intelligence, possess but little interest. The following is the only extract worth making : (From the Etoile dated Sunday.) PARIS, JULY 22.—Letters from St. Petersburgh inform us that the Supreme Commission appointed to investigate the conspiracy of December 26, had continued its sit tings without interruption even during the Whitsun holi days. Most of the persons arrested who belong to the second class mentioned before in the manifesto of June 13, appear to have made sufficient atonement for their fault by the imprisonment which they have already suf fered, since many of them have appeared again in public at perfect liberty. We have received from Constantinople accounts of the 22d, which are consequently of less merit than those we gave yesterday ; but they contain some new details. All that has passed, would have appeared impossible before hand, which makes people believe the. Sultan will attain his object. In order to keep the people in the favourable temper which they have hitherto manifested, the Sultan has caused the prices of provisions to be reduced one-half, accusing the Janissaries of having made them dear. It is certain that wine Ortas had commercial privileges, which easily degenerated into monopolies. Nevertheless, all eyes are turned towards the provinces, where troubles are apprehended. It is feared that the communications by land may be impeded, so that the ar rival of goods that way may be stopped. Much anxiety still prevails at Pera, though no revolution was ever seem at Constantinople less dangerous to the Christians than that which has just taken place. The last accounts from Bucharest announce that the late events had not hindered the Russian post of the 22d from arriving as usual. ROYAL colmT to PEERS. ammo or' JULY 21.

We alluded yesterday to the uneasiness occasioned to the Court of Madrid by the Constitutional Char. ter given to Portugal by the Emperor Don PEDno. The following article, under date of Madrid the 11th instant, taken from the Quotidienne, describes the commotion of the Royal Houiehold, on first receiving accounts of the events in Portugal. If the information contained in this article may be credited, the Cabinet of Spain has addressed notes to the Ambassadors of France, Russia, and Austria, re questing their Courts to prevent the Portuguese Con stitution from being acted upon ; but we find from other intelligence that the appointment of M. AN DUAGA, who would be objectionable to the Court of Lisbon, had been revoked. In the meantime, it will be observed that FERDINAND had appointed a Com mission to report the consequences which the esta blishment of the New Constitution in Portugal might produce in Spain. " PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. " MADRID, July 11.--To-day's Gazette announces, under the date of Sacedon, the Bth instant, the arrival of their Majesties in that town, and speaks of the enthusiasm of the inhabitants on their entry. " It is said, that when the King was informed of the events that have lately taken place in Portugal, he showed the greatest discontent, as did Don Carlos. All the Am bassadors were successively invited to the Palace. The King complained, that it was intended to ruin him and his family, by giving the liberal Spaniards a dangerous example, which they would take advantage of, to endea vour to bring about another Revolution. Her Majesty added, that she relied upon Foreign Powers refusing to recognise the new order of things ; and that, for her part, she protested against all the steps that had been hitherto taken. The King then eont fon hie wr—inieterc, one after the other, and the greatest disorder prevailed in the Pa lace throughout the day. The next day, a Council was called, and M. Recacho was present. The question of what measures of safety were to be taken was discussed; and also, whether* their Majesties' journey should not be suspended. M. Recacho decidedly opposed the latter proposition, and said, he would answer, with his head, for the tranquillity of Madrid. " The Cabinet has addressed notes to the Ambassadors of France, Russia, and Austria, to request their Courts, by all means in their power, to prevent the Portuguese Con stitution from being acted upon. " By - a recent Decree, seventeen regiments of Provin cial Militia had been dismissed, but the orders for dis banding have been rescinded, and those who had returned home are summoned to rejoin their respective corps. " I have already announced to you that M. d'Anduaga's journey has been suspended. The greater part of the Fo reign Ministers, and many prudent persons, have made representations on the subject of this choice. The Duke de l'lnfantado has been therefore advised to wait till the Ministry have received news from Portugal, and has be come acquainted with the effect of the Emperor of Brazil's Decree upon the Portuguese nation. In the meantime, the Junta, consisting of three Councillors, Father Cirilo, the Bishop of Leon, and the Comte of Venadito, are busily employed upon this important affair, which is much dreaded, on account of the inefficient foundation on which the tranquillity of Spain rests. " Spain, in order to bear up against the evils, which at present threaten her, wants ministers less hated, and more able than those she has at present. Ever 7 thing induces us to believe that a change in the council is about to take place. It is known that his Majesty gave orders to M. de Grijalba, his private secretary, and who has accompa nied him to the waters of Sacedon, to take with him la estampilla, that is, the Royal signet made use of by his Majesty to sign the decrees. " The Provinces are quiet, and the re-organization of the army is in progress, thanks to the efforts of the Mar quis de Zambrano. The finances arc visibly improving; our navy is augmenting, and three more vessels of the line will soon be ready to sail for America with fresh reinforce ments for Cuhu. When *men of ability have taken the places of the feeble ministers who are still in the council, Spain may repair the losses site has suffered, and resume, n part at least, the rank in Europe which belongs to her." Harnburgh Papers to the 23d instant reached us last night, but they do not furnish us with a word of IeXCHANGZ ON LONDON. IAI(BURON, JULY 21.-37 2 ; two mouths, 36.11. We have received this forenoon German Papers to a late date, from which we make the following ex tracts. The first relating to piracies by Greek ves vessels ; and the second, giving from the Supplements to the Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 17th and 18th in stant, a circumstantial account of the disorder which terminated the life of the Emperor ALEXANDER. FRANKFORT, JULY 16. Extract of a Letter from Smyrna, June 10:-- " So long, as the English continued to pour millions into the coffers of the Greek nation, the English flag was venerated in all these seas; since they have suspended their subsidies, the Greeks treat them no better than other nations. For this month past, all English vessels that have arrived here from the ports of England have been pillaged, their Captains insulted, ill treated, robbed of their private property, their money, and even their clothes. All the English ships of war stationed in the Levant are gone to pursue those pirates who in general cruise be tween Cape d'Oro and Andre, because at this season this passage is the most frequented by vessels coming from Europe. The, son of the English Consul here had on board one of these ships valu able articles of bousehold furniture, which he had pur chased in London for 20,000 piastres, the Greeks have taken them all. Commodore Hamilton is gone to Syra, where the pirates generally deposit their booty ; the other ships of war will proceed to the ports which are known to be the retreats of the pirates. " We learn from Sirs, by accounts dated the sth, that Commodore Hamilton had met near St. George di Schiro, nineteen vessels full of pirates, known by the name of Liappi, banditti of Romelia, commanded by Vasso Brae covish, of the Boache de Cettaro, and by one Gusuolte, a Rumeliot. These banditti, after having ruined Zea, An dros, Tasso Scher°, and Sehiatto, stripped the inhabitants, and committed a thousand atrocities and horrible excesses, and were on the way to go and pillage some other islands Commodore Hamilton has taken them all to Napoli d Romania, to be brought to trial : AUGSBURG, JULY 18. The Supplement to the Allgemeine Zeitung of 17th and 18th July, contains a very long and circumstantial account of the disorder which ended in the death of his Majesty the Emperor Alexander, translated from the original Latin of Sir James 'Wylie, his Majesty's physician, and signed also refused for some days to take by Dr. Hoffregen. tion to leeches, which he persisted in prohibiting for two attempted necessary anj l e i m is e Ma dic i h e te st , Y a% mad a s p e p e e n :r ' s to have had a particular objet.. to o save his life. Under date of Nov. 14, we find his Majesty had passed a tolerable night, but he refused leeches; and d ais: a g a action—what y a sii s i , 1 iphc a er ft ess e t r iay t :ts h ib e s:D y nef:f l i n.r i a : d :ilid.t,f been cu,o:ni 1 iactionnculledu judged l,il absolutely m e , and without any due connection of the ideas; out a minute, My Dr. 'W. began to fear putrid fever. His Majesty, however, got up, and showed himself, " when he had lain down speak some words, in which a certain Confusion of ideas iitend , hew atetatbei e desiredto peak to me, and sa id, ' ,... . ha same time cast a terrible look on me, and it seemed to me to be the first sign of incipient delirium. How the emotions of the mind operate in producing diseases I leave ot h e rs to judge ; but it is more than probable that they are among the causes of diseases. On one of the preceding days his Majesty said to me, " I wish you would yews. direct your attention to my nerves, for they are in very great disorder." I replied, I believe this happens to So vereigns more than to other men. His Majesty answered, " And in these times I have more than ever reason to experience this." Though there were no positive indications of imminent danger, except continual and heavy sleep, which the Doc tor judged to be as dangerous as constant waking, because it gives reason to fear a too great accumulation of blood on the brain, he wished to use several external applications, such as mustard-paste blisters, and above all leeches, but they were refused with displeasure. Firmly convinced of the advantage of leeches, I implored his Majesty to allow me to use them, but unhappily in vain I received for answer, " I will not be disturbed ; do not torment me with your continual entreaties. I know very well what hurts me or does me good; I ask only repose, solitude, and tranquil lity. I trust to the will of the Almighty, and to my con stitution." At two o'clock in the afternoon the fever fit was more violent than on the preceding days. At eight his Majesty, contrary to the advice of his physicians, sat up, and fainted, but soon recovered ; various medicines were offered, but the patient would not take a drop or a grain Nov. 15. The symptoms early in the morning were very bad, and often in imminent danger—pulse 120, but no delirium. — "Her Majesty the Empress ordered me to announce to the Monarch the approaching end. Oh! unhappy that I sin! what an office. 'When his Majesty asked me, "Is it come to that ?" I replied, "Yes, indeed," and proceeded to par ticulars. At five in the morning his Majesty took the Sacrament. Hitherto his Majesty had refused to take me dicine. Now, at the request of his Confessor, and convinced his danger, he consented; but alas, it was too late." The drtatnt aPtuila thp weans he employed, among which was mustard plasters; but these the patient pulled off in' anger, as soon as they began to draw. The remainder of the diary, including four days, the 28th, 29th, 30th of November, and December 1, contains only the melancholy narrative of the progress of the disorder, and of the reme dies employed, terminating in his Majesty's death, at .50 minutes past ten, A.u. on Dec. 1. We lament to state, that we have received a further letter, dated 26th June, from Malta, which confirms the account we published yesterday of the loss of of ficers and men sustained by his Majesty's ship Sybille, in an affair with some pirates off Candia. The fol lowing is an extract of the letter in question : MALTA, JUN! 26: " The Sybifie arrived here on Saturday, after having had a serious Fair with two Greek pirates off Candia, the crews of wlich got on shore and attacked the Sybille's boats With such impetuosity, that 12 officers and men were killed, and 29 wounded. Of the latter, an officer, Lieut. TAPPER, and three men have died since their arrival here. The first Lieut. Gemeport had three balls lodged in him; and a Midshipman, Mr. EDMONSTONE, had his chin shot away ; another Mitshipman, and I believe the Assistant- Surgeon, were killed in the engagement. The pirate vessels were destroyed, and a great number of the pirates killed. The pirac►es in the Levant have become most alarming, for the Greeks attack all vessels, and frequently maltreat the crews." It is said that a Grtek naval officer (an American by birth, but who hal been in the service of the Greeks these two years) has arrived this morning at the North and South American Coffee-house, with dispatches from Greece to the Greek Committee ill London. The Officer staes that Tripolizza has been retaken from the Turks by storm, in which the Egyptians lost a great nunibr of men. Adm.MtAuL is has destroyed two Turkish iigates in the mouth of the Dardanelles : he also adds that since the establish ment of the new Governmea, affairs have taken a very favourable turn; andAtliniralil t A V ta s is waiting with his fleet to join that of Lord COCX RAISTE, whose approach ing arrival has caused great py, and the Greeks are determined to die or .conquer. We find that no despatches 'etr e received overland at the India House yesterday, as gated in some of the Papers, and therefore the reports 4f unfavourable news from that quarter rest on no foundation. His Majesty's ship Gloucester arrived at Sheerness yesterday, from the Baltic, having been relieved of her attendance on his Grace the Duke )1 . DEVONSIIIRS by the Herald yacht. THE FUNDS.
